Chabeli Carrazana is The 19th’s economy and child care reporter. She’s been an economy reporter for a decade, getting her start at the Miami Herald and then the Orlando Sentinel.
At The 19th, she’s crafted a different kind of economy beat. In her work, you’ll read about the women and LGBTQ+ folks who make up the majority of the nation’s low-income workforce and a growing portion of small business owners — a group often invisible in news coverage. As the granddaughter of a former child care worker, she’s honored to be one of the nation’s only child care reporters, bringing you stories you won’t read anywhere else about how child care policies — or the lack of them — are changing people’s lives.
She’s proud to be a two-time national Livingston Award finalist for her economy and child care coverage, and for her contribution to The 19th’s coverage of the fall of Roe v. Wade, which won a 2023 Online Journalism Award.
